The therapist again

The boys and their mother had an appointment with their dads "therapist" this afternoon. Their mother didn't have a ride so we agreed to furnish transportation. On the way to pick her up we had a call from the oldest boy and he said his dad wanted to know if we could bring them home. I don't talk on the phone whem I'm driving so grandma answered the phone and told him we would be glad to take them home. When they got in their session the oldest boy said grandma and grandpa are taking us home. The "therapist" told their mother she would report her to Youthville and she would get in trouble for letting the boys have contact with their grandparents not ordered by the court. The oldest boy said, " Mom had nothing to do with it. Dad made me call grandma and grandpa and asked them to take us home". Her response was, " Well if dad says it's OK then there is no problem". This woman has taken a family that need help and destroyed what was left. As bad as I dislike dealing with lawyers it appears there is no way to avoid litigation. Someone is going to have to pay for counseling to fix the mess she has made and it might as well be her. We can only hope the judge can see what she is doing and stop it.

That really is a difficult situation. Are there court instructions stating that the children are not to see you (grandparents)? That would seem rather odd, but the courts have made stranger decisions. It really ties the hands of those trying to help

Hi, I wondered what was the update in your case? I also wanted to invite you to a site I started awhile back, there are some active, smart grandparents there and they can share some ideas with you. Hang in there you are not alone. http://familycourtactivists.ning.com
